Coffee as biofuel
Coffee has the potential to fuel more than just your morning. Grounds can be converted into biofuel, according to a recent study published in the American Chemical Society's journal Energy & Fuels. Once the waste grounds are soaked in an organic solvent, oil can be extracted through a process called transesterification. There was little variation in the oil content of the grounds from 20 different regions analyzed. About 22 pounds of grounds can yield half a gallon of biofuel.
